Mapping was done by Andy @ AMT (//www.amt-fordmazda.co.uk). He setup the car very well which was proven reliable at the Fast Show the very next day where I was with the Drift Taxi guys. Car didnt miss a beat all day, and the noise got people attention :-D

Can\'t wait to get to another event and see how she does in the dry.

Nice work Andy.

And well done Ali for getting it all back together again so quickly. Here\'s hoping your whole season is trouble free!

I must admit, it does make me cringe a bit when I see you giving it full beans at Pod

Cringe? From the noise?

Well done, can\'t watch the video yet as no 3G signal:( does the car feel faster than before? Any different to drive?

As expected its a different beast. Its laggier than non seq twins but the power progression isnt too harsh. it comes on around 4500 and comes on strong. From 4500 upwards its like a rocket :-)

Grant Monkhouse · March 18, 2013, 09:08:11 PM

Sounds good. 3500 rpm power band. I\'m sure in the future a bit of porting could lower the rpms for spool or possibly a ball bearing turbo if the engine keeps going strong.

But most important if all your hard work..... Did it create more tyre smoke?

Fast show (wet show) drifting

rx7ali · May 12, 2013, 10:21:50 PM

Decided to give arch rolling a go today, and after jacking up the rear of the car I found a small pool of oil......

Didn\'t take long to work out that one of my rear shocks has a leak. FML

With a lack of dollars and a load of taxi events coming up this is bad news. Luckily one of my sponsors RE:CTS (keith\'s mobile compression testing) has a spare set of rears which he going to be sending me which will keep me drifting. :-)

Drifting today at the classic ford show at pod. Was very hot so was killing tyres pretty dam quick. Specially with the new t04r setup, was laying down some decent smoke on full boost.

Borrowed a friends go pro for the day so managed to get a few vids of her too :-)

Ok so I have been picked to be one of 12 people to have private session with mad mike and Frederick aasbo. So on Sunday ill be drifting with the biggest name in rotary drifting sitting by my side. And to top that off ill be getting a passenger ride in his mental spec rx8 triple rotor and will also be attending a seminar from the pair on drifting, setup, gaining sponsorship etc...

Can not wait!!!!!

Grant Monkhouse · June 03, 2013, 03:49:18 PM

Awesome... That is all

Will66 · June 03, 2013, 11:47:31 PM

Awesomeness, I may well see you there, I\'m going to watch since I\'ve gotta see the BadBul in real life. Also want to see how the Time Attack is shaping up!

Grant Monkhouse · June 04, 2013, 02:38:40 PM

Ask mad mike when he\'s sticking 2 turbos on the 4 rotor, as that\'s the only next thing he can do to make it better

Will66 · June 04, 2013, 06:24:28 PM

Why would he? He\'s got 800+hp from the 20B in the RX8 and I think he prefers that for Formula D style events but he likes the lightning response from the RX7 for the more D1GP style stuff.
